I just bought an asus pce-n13 wireless pci adapter about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Ever since every so often it disconnects from the internet for no apparant reason. I tried 2 other usb adapters that had the same problem but did it much more frequently. It disconnects about 2 or three times a day. I've tried running it with and without the drivers for it but neither have helped and it has the latest drivers installed so I don't know anything else to do for it so I'm asking you guys.
My pc has Windows 7 64bit.I am not sure about Win7 since I use XP, but I must have my wireless connection set as the Preferred Network, and disable all of my neighbor's networks I can pick up, to have a flawless connection.  Also the other software issue I can think of would be whether Windows is running your network, or if the card came with software to manage your internet connections for you... they will interfere with each other if both are trying to run simultaneously.I would do the preferred network but there's no where that I can find for that setting in win7 and since I live in the country I don't pick up any other internet signals other than one occasionally but its to WEEK of a signal to connect to.Sorry for the double post but I'd like to get this fixed asap. Does anyone know of a way to make it my prefered network with win7 64bit and make it so only windows controls it not the software?Try here --> http://www.home-network-help.com/wlan-autoconfig-service.html

I think it will be more likely related to an issue with your ISP providers service. Or alternatively your interaction between your wireless router and the ISP modem ( i am assuming a DSL or cable connection ISP). You might want to ask them if they are receiving any complaints re dropped signal. Also undoubtedly you may have relatively close proximity neigbours using the same ISP. I would inquire of them what their experiences are. While a "failure" to connect on DSL can be sometimes caused by modem data clogging (which can be cleared by disconnecting the modem on occasion to clear it) i am not aware of that causing disconnects while actually in use. Others may wish to comment on that. Given that apparently this has been an ONGOING problem with different wireless routers i think it is more likely to be related to an ISP service issue. What is your data rate and your signal strength from your iSP? truenorthJason thanks for the help but none of those seemed to be the fix.
Truenorth, I know its not the router or isp thats dropping the connection because all the other computers remain connected to the internet when mine drops. It has something to do with my wireless adapter I just can't figure out what it is that causes it.This new information coming only now is a significant omission from your 1st post telling us of your problem and certainly alters my suggestions and recommended actions. truenorth Quote from: truenorth on January 05, 2011, 04:09:36 PM

I installed the network stumbler but it didn't seem to pick up my wireless adapter.
I pulled off my side panel and checked to see how hot the card was while it was running and it felt pretty cool so that doesnt seem to be an issue either.

I don't pick up any other internet signals other than one occasionally but its to week of a signal to connect to.
